Queen Ava of Bundbury plans to step down from the throne in one year and let her daughter, Princess Amelia, take her place as monarch. But there’s a hitch.

The princess proposes that she visit her uncle Andreas in Beverly Hills for his birthday. Unfortunately, Wes lives in Chicago and can’t make it to California. Amelia asks her uncle to let her borrow his car to drive to Chicago. He agrees, but on one condition: His bodyguard Grady has to accompany her.
